I don't worry about incoming things unless they're causing damage or disruption (never happened, touch wood). Regularly pick up random password attacks on Linux and Blaster-style attacks on Windows, but none of them get past the logs.
However, if unexpected stuff is outgoing (particularly email), that's a sign of trouble. |

All incoming. The outgoing emails are the router emailing me

Just the state of the web at the moment - attacks flying around all over the shop. That and spam email.

Even then it would only be a problem if your router was NAT'ing the standard ports across

Yup - VNC is a known exploitable software (if not up-to-date or secured), so it's hardly surprising bots are going after that.
I very rarely even look any more and don't bother emailing logs. There's so much background noise and bots looking for holes that don't exist that it's a waste of my time, but then, I don't have a business to worry about with the potential downtime costs of that.

It's the same here Mark. Smaller clients never look at them unless they have reason to suspect something, and larger clients spend a lot of money on monitoring software/services to analyse the data for them.
